A snip of the file is attached.
The native support was tried (though it took me a moment, as your
support appears to be different that using framed itself. The normal
framed commands failed. Found LyX's version under insert.
That worked fine once I figured out how to adjust it to show up
properly. It overflowed on the right and had a large space on the left
inside part of the frame. I removed the quotation environment, set the
minipage's size to 85% of the margin, and centered it.
Thanks for that heads-up! Now my cross-references work too! :)
